Yay! Our son is coming home for an Easter visit! And, the rest of the extended family will be coming over for brunch too on Sunday. We might all be wearing winter coats but as long as we
don't have to shovel snow that's ok.

Gotta run. Some cleaning and cooking needs to get done.

Finally a real snowfall.  I hurt.  My wrists, my forearms, my shoulders.  The back isn't too bad.  It is only about 7 inches, but in layers---3 inches of snow, 1 inch of frozen rain, sleet, another 3 of sleet, snow.  Chop a square, shovel it away.  Run out of room to stack the stuff.  And, if that plow comes back tonight and plows in the 2 cars I ( Read more... )
